Department of Manuscripts and Archives1959 OctoberengspaTop row of prints depicts Raúl Castro greeting delegates to the ASTA convention and offering them tiny cups of Cuban espresso at convention headquarters in the Havana Hilton. The second row of prints shows Fidel Castro addressing participants in the ASTA convention on the morning of October 19. Behind him are the United States, Cuban and ASTA flags; behind him is a banner reading "American Society of Travel Agents." Rows 4 and 5 show Fidel Castro later that evening as he addresses a national televised audience on "Ante la Prensa" and denounces Commander Huber Matos for having resigned his post in protest of what Matos alleged was increasing evidence of Communist influence. In this speech, Castro condemns Matos for resigning as a traitor and asserts that his resignation would have served as a prelude to an armed conspiracy. Frames 13-15 of the fourth row show Raúl Castro with Che Guevara at his side sitting in the studio audience. Frames 16 and 17 show Fidel Castro and Antonio Nuñez Jiménez. The last row of photos shows images taken of the mass demonstration before the Presidential Palace organized by state-affiliated labor unions in support of Castro's arrest of Matos and decision to reopen the Revolutionary Tribunals on October 26, 1959.
